I would just add that in order to make Poser run a wee bit faster at startup, keep your default Runtime as is, and yes, organizing your thingies in runtimes according to figures, themes, etc, can make your find your items your items, and for that matter, it will help Poser too.

As to character creation, it involves some knowledge in actual 3d polygon mesh editing, as well as image editing. If you do not have much experience in those fields, I suggest you try first doing some simple props for your characters to hone your skills and gradually move yourself to character editing/creation. If you do have experience in that kind of stuff, well, nuff zed. There are several tutorials out there which explain the methodology much better than I can.

still hooked to real life and enjoying the siesta!
